Deja Brew All Over Again: A Runaway Bride Romance (Love on Tap Book 3)

I love each of the Brooks boys but think Miller may be my favorite of the four boys. He is definitely the brother I would have gone for when I was young. Sometimes the bad boy is the best boy.

I loved every moment of this book. From the beginning when Miller and Maisy meet to getting to know her and Bear and everything else that happens.

Lots of fun laugh out loud moments but there were some pretty serious moments too that kept my mind racing.

I can’t recommend this book enough, it can be read independently but seriously suggest you read the first two before diving it. Think it will help you understand Miller a little bit better.

Elusive Surrender (Sinful Duets Book 3) by Via Mari – Review by Robin Rankin

Elusive Surrender (Sinful Duets)Elusive Surrender by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Elusive

Well she’s done it again. This book was everything I have come to expect from a book by Ms. Mari.  Romance,  suspense,  danger and some incredible hot moments.

I wasn’t sure if Sheldon and Alexis were a good fit.   But as I got deeper into the story I could see they were more perfect than I could have expected.  How Sheldon didn’t throttle Alexis I will never know.

All of these guys are absolutely the Alpha males of all Alphas.  Not a single one of them doesn’t exude it and I love reading how each one of them is getting snared by these women.

Tenacious

If only one of these young, hot, wealthy dominant males needed a mortgage and happened to have me as their loan processor.  But since that will never happen I will live vicariously by reading this series instead.  Now we have six of the guys who have found love and I hope we have several more.

I loved the back and forth between Nick and Allie and how they fought the attraction, well she more so than he.  Thankfully love won.

Good Enough — The Deadman’s Tribe Book 1: A Protector Romance / Romantic Suspense

I fall fast for books fairly often, but rarely in the first chapter and even more rare is when I happens in the first page or two. This one is a especially rare book. I fell hard and fast and my love only grew over the course of the book.

Kai dealt with exactly no garbage from anyone especially from executive producer who does everything possible to make crazy and she refuses to take the bait. She is a strong woman in a male dominated business and I think that bothered a lot of the Men in charge.

Waters is definitely the strong silent type who sees everything even when you think he doesn’t. He is a true military man and takes his mission seriously no matter what it is and even if he isn’t sure exactly what the mission is.

When I realized this was Ms. Craig’s debut I was shocked. She definitely writes like a more experienced author. I’m anxious to see how she develops as an author and the characters.

The guys in the Tribe are going to be a lot of fun to follow. I look forward to seeing all of them in the future.

Sweet Dreams by Claire (Capture the Light, #2)Sweet Dreams by Claire by Nanette Littlestone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sweet Dreams by Claire: A Small Town Feel-Good Delicious Irish Romance (Capture the Light, Book 2)

This was a sweet and enjoyable introduction to Ms. Littlestone and her writing. I got lost in the story and had to be reminded to put it down.

Claire made the Mama in me want to hold and encourage her to follow all of her dreams. She has such an amazing talent in the kitchen and I hated to see her talents stiffled. Thankfully she has her Grandmother there for support and love and to guide her where she needs to be.

Finn is in a similar situation as Claire with having his dreams dismissed by his parent. He meets Claire while there for his sister’s wedding.

They have fun, get in trouble and fall for one another. He is so good for her, he grounds her and helps her let loose and heal.

This can be read as a standalone, but there is information and details in the first book that would be helpful to know. I will go back to read the first one and keep and eye out any new books.

Tropic Heat

This is a book in the Flamingo Island series. All of the books are standalone that take place on Flamingo Island.

This was the first of the series I have read so I don’t know if there is any background for the Island or not in earlier books.

Daniel deals with an unimaginable embarrassment and is left at the alter. Thankfully he has his best friend to go on the honeymoon with him. That’s when the adventure begins.

I think my favorite moment was with Buster after a booze filled night. I still chuckle thinking about it.

I will adding the others to my TBR list and plan to try and get to them soon since I have some free time coming.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A King So Savage (The Savage Duet Book 1)

I’m sitting here trying to come up with something more than WOW! This is a dark cliffhanging romance that may not be for everyone. I enjoy reading them from time to time depending on what I have been reading, always nice to change it up and this is definitely very different than the last several books I have read.

Ava and Kingston are definitely not your common characters. Ava is light where Kingston is dark. I liked Ava immediately with the fight she had in her, Kingston is a different story but there is obviously more to him than we know at this point and maybe more than he knows about himself.

Thankfully I don’t have to wait too long to read the next book, patience isn’t something I have when I’m this invested. Looking forward to seeing how this all plays out.

Wicked Ends: A Dark College Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 8)

I know i have said this after every book in this series and it needs to be said again I am absolutely in love with this book and series. I hate to see it end, but their group goes out with a bang.

Winter and Shane’s story continues, in this part 2 of their story. And I don’t know where to begin since somuch happens and so many of my questions are answered about the past that I don’t know if it could have ended any other way. One of my favorite scenes came close to the end, won’t elaborate since it is an important part of the story, or at least I think so.

I loved watching everyone, especially the boys mature and grow. There were times throughout the book and series that I forgot they were high school/college age kids.

I’m looking forward to reading future books and series by Ms. Vaughn. I have a feeling I will love them as much as I have loved this one.

Dangerous Rhythm: A Reverse Protector Romance (The Echo Series Book 4)

This book has no casual build up the excitement starts at the beginning of chapter one and doesn’t end until the book does.

Curtis and Lina were just perfect for one another and glad they finally figured it out. I wish their story could have been a little less dangerous but then again I really wouldn’t have changed anything.

There were so many intense moments, but there were also some funny ones, there is one in particular that I’m still chuckling about.

I have had the pleasure of reading all of this series and I’m so glad I stumbled across Ms. Alam. Looking forward to the next book.

Shadowed Agenda: An Enemies to Lovers Action-Packed Romantic Suspense Thriller (Shadow Defense Security Series Book 2)

As much as I enjoyed the first book in this series I think I loved this one more. I was completely sucked in from the first page until the very end.

This book has a little bit of everything a hot protective alpha, mystery, danger and romance.

Pavlo and Regan worked from the very beginning, even though they didn’t get along and were thrown together due to the book convention.

Regan is the type of woman I strive to be and stick to my beliefs no matter how difficult it may be and it was very difficult for her to do it.
This is definitely worth the time and I can’t wait to read more.

Unexpected by Laylah Abrams – Review by Robin Rankin

UnexpectedUnexpected by Laylah Abrams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unexpected

The title of this book couldn’t have been more perfect and I absolutely adored both Claire and Nick instantly.

Claire is nothing like the friends she’s with when we first meet her and it’s obvious to anyone who was paying attention to her and Nick was paying attention. Claire wants for nothing. Her Dad has money, she is a successful model trying to find her way.

Nick is a grad student getting a masters in art and struggling to make ends meet. Works as a waiter on top of his class load and never knew how much of a difference his job would make in his life.

Claire was a great woman but she was also quite frustrating and closed minded with her beliefs on love not matter how understandable they were.

This was a great introduction to Ms. Abrams and her writing. The storyline kept me engaged in the book and was a little sad when it was over. I look forward to see what she releases next.

Auctioned Surrender (Sinful Duets #2)Auctioned Surrender by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Auctioned

Three of the bodyguards have fallen and Matt’s story had been my favorite until I read this one. 

Damian falls hard and fast when it come to Bryanna.  I’m not sure if it was their circumstances or if he just knew she was the one.  But we all know that love isn’t no matter the situation.

Bryanna is extremely brave and loyal, almost to a fault but she is fierce when her heart is all in.

Relentless

Oh my goodness, she’s done it again with this great story.  I love Derek and Layla so much and was a little sad when I finished the book.

So much happens starting at the very beginning and it never let’s up.  Between the sparks flying between Derek and Layla to the revelations close to the end of the story which I totally didn’t see I couldn’t stop reading.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Renewed (Fateful Justice Book 6)

This book is my introduction to Ms. Vinduska’s books and I wasn’t disappointed at all. I will find a way to go back and read the first books in the future. While a part of a series it is a standalone, but it doesn’t hurt to learn the other people and their story.

Hayden is a rancher and seems to have been since birth. Now taking care of the property he grew on is exactly what he wants with his life until he is shot. His life goes from normal to being flipped upside down.

Ruby is a hero and saves Hayden after he shows up unexpectedly. She goes through so much in a short time, but it doesn’t do anything but make her stronger.

This was a quick read, but no corners were cut in the story at all. I have added Ms. Vinduska’s name to my list of authors to keep an eye out for new releases and I look forward to reading more.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lela’s Choice

This book started off strong and maintained the strength throughout out. Emotional and hot are the first two words that come to mind when I think of this book.

I’m currently on a stronger than the average women main characters kick and Lela is definitely one of those women. She dealt with tragedy at a young age more than once in a short period of time started the foundation add in a difficult father it helps build it up.

Hamish dealt with a horrible tragedy a few years back, and built a wall around his heart. That is until he meets Lela at the airport in Malta.

I haven’t traveled much in my life so I love it when I get to go to locations I might not even consider and accentuate these gems.

I love the depth Ms. Raines provides in her characters and the way she builds the story around them. Looking forward to reading future books by her.

Finding the End Zone (Game Time Series)

I did not want this book to end. It took a minute to grab me but once it did I had a hard time putting it down. Every one of the main characters weasel their way into my heart. Especially the boys.

Jamaica, a strong independent woman who will not accept anything but the best when it comes to her and her grade, she isn’t going to allow anything to lead her astray from her goals.

Callahan, star Tight End for the football team, definitely got Travis Kelse vibes from him which may have made me like him a little more. He’s arrogant, but not in a jerky way and determined to get the girl.

As important as Jamaica and Callahan are, the co-stars add almost as much. Axel was quite instrumental in helping his friend get out of her own way and quite entertaining along with Chessly and the boys in the football house.

I am not one to read the sneak peeks at the end, but I did this time and I can’t wait for Bax to find his heart.

The Magic Man Audiobook (The Olympic Peninsula Book 3) by Cat Treadgold – Review by Robin Rankin

The Magic Man The Olympic Peninsula Series, Book 3

David is basically a stranger at the beginning of this book. He was mentioned in passing a few times but not a lot was known. He definitely didn’t give me the warm fuzzies.

Maddie is a sweet woman who listens to her heart instead of her brain from time to time. There were a few times that she showed that.

I enjoyed the book overall, but I was unable to make a connection with David which surprised and disappointed me. Ms. Treadgold did a wonderful job narrating and has a voice that is very soothing which was much needed this week.

Looking forward to the next books, but the mystery of Edward is truly intriguing.

Whispered Surrender (Sinful Duets #1)Whispered Surrender by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Whispered Surrender

This is the first of the Sinful Duets books and features Wayward and Undercover from the Billionaire Bodyguards series.

Wayward is the first book and I was so happy to see some of my favorite characters from the two earlier series.

We know Jay from the Prestian series and holy cow, he is a lot more alpha than I was expecting. I think in my mind I pictures him as a teddy bear under all of the growling. I was so wrong but it works for him.

Sasha was a hot mess in our previous encounters with her and again at the beginning of this book, but she grew on me a lot and though at times I wanted to shake her, I saw a lot of growth in her as the story progressed.

Great way to begin this next series and I can’t wait to see who falls next.

Undercover is the second book. We finally get Matt’s story. I fell hard for Matt when he was protecting Jenny in The Torzial Affair series and that love has only grown since then.

Marenah is also a not new character if you read Sasha and Jay’s story. She is so much more than I expected her to be, which goes to show that first impressions aren’t always right. She has a knack for finding trouble and wanting to fix it.

Matt and Marenah are a hot couple. Their attraction is instantaneous and off the charts. There were a few time I had to put the book down to catch my breath.

I have been fortunate enough to read the two other series that this series is spun from so I know who everyone is and how they are all connected.

I highly recommend this book and series.

Be True with Me: A small town steamy, second chance, interracial romance (Be with Me Series, Book Three)

Another trip to Green Springs to catch up with our previous couples and to get to know a new one.

Lauren is an absolute angel, after a less than ideal childhood she has become to person to help kids and families going through a rough time. Her work as a case worker causes her to see the bad, while trying to protect her clients.

Jake is another angel, but he has a badge. He too sees the darker side if things. He runs into the one who got away on the scene, he decides then to help Lauren and the kids who are now in her care.

Being a social worker is really a thankless job, she sees these families dealing with some difficult times and full of emotions. I have dealt with case workers in my youth, they definitely left a lasting impression on me.

I adored this book, Lauren, Jake and those precious babies. I hope we get to reunite with them and the other good people of Green Springs soon.

Arriving Home (Lake Juniper Series)

This book woke me up at 2:30 am to finish it and I have a hard time saying no to books when they call out to me, especially in the middle of the night.

I fell in love with Elijah and Austin from the very beginning, by the end of the book I was even deeper with them. They both overcame so much pain in their lives. They carry the scars and are the people they are because of those struggles.

There were some incredibly hot moments, but the romance was definitely in the forefront. I wish all friends and family were as accepting as the people in this book.

There is some drama and angst but I feel it was necessary and made their story that much sweeter in the end.

Ms. Lauren is a new to me author and I’m so glad I found her. Definitely keeping my eyes out for additional books by her in the future.

This series gets better with each book released and I get more invested in this group of people.

Forrest and Kiera have chemistry off the charts but things get awkward after their one night. Thank goodness for Texas.

I was on edge most of their time while reading waiting for everything to fall into place and questions I had answered and the bonus is I got to know more people.

I live just outside of Austin and have a affection for anything Austin. The shop Forrest’s grandmother made me think of a Metaphysical store on the East Side of town and was unable to get it out of my mind every time and I love little connections like that.

I have to wait until February for the next book to come out, but I will be on leave from work and plan to start reading as soon as it’s released.

If only their story had been as easy as I was expecting it to be. Noah meets the girl he wants to marry at 13 years old in a bookstore, and can’t forget her as time passed until they run into one another 5 years later.

Kate’s life was the exact opposite of easy and has some pretty dark times over the years, but the one light was Noah.

I found myself getting frustrated with both of them for various reasons through most or the book and aside from the interactions as children their time in Dubai was probably my favorite interaction.

This was my first experience reading anything by this author and overall enjoyed the book. Looking forward to reading her develope and evolve as an author.

Wicked Games: A Dark College Bully Romance (Hidden Valley Elite Book 7)

Just when I think I can’t get more addicted to these characters and this series I end up even more so then with the previous books. I have been involved from the very beginning and will there until the bitter end. These cliffhangers are killing me, but what a way to go.

Shane isn’t having the best year between what happened to his twin Phoenix, dealing with his grandfather and dealing his issues with his father and unfortunately it doesn’t improve from there.

Winter transfers in to Thane after a semester at her local community college not expecting to know anyone outside of her brother Jaxon. But runs into an old friend she hadn’t seen in several years.

So many things to discuss and questionsto ask, but won’t since I’m expecting all of it to be cleared with the next book. Though the thought of having to say bye to this group makes me sad.

I’m once again impatiently waiting for the next book to be released and have no doubt I will finish the same day as I have with each and every book before.

Hot Flashes and Hockey Slashes (Hot Flash Hookups Book 1)

I have found characters that I could relate to in one way or another, but nothing like the way I related to Olivia. I love my romance books, but so many the characters are the same age groups as my daughters. Olivia is close to my age and dealing with the next phase of her life as a empty nester going through the change.

This book had me laughing out loud with some of what happens, like when Olivia and Roman met.

Roman is a single dad to Hannah, she and her roommate Holly talk him into playing fake date to Olivia. Their initial meeting isn’t ideal but I found it very funny.

The kids are in the background most of the time, but when they are there they are entertaining and pretty dead on what adult kids are like with their parents. I can think of a few lectures my daughter has given me.

I have read several books by Ms. Stewart and enjoyed each and every one of them. This was my introduction to Ms. Ray and I will be looking for more by here.

I have so many emotions going in right now. I just finished reading this book and oh my goodness. I so enjoyed the book and love Adam & Hope.

I thankfully was unable to relate to Adam but he really made my heart for him as he deals with the loss. He doesn’t handle things in the best way but grief makes you do stupid stuff.

Hope had a great job, friends and family. Doesn’t have a lot of baggage and is overall a happy person. She and Adam seem to be in the right place at the right time starting on New Years and cross paths a few times over the course of a few months.

I have read at least one other book by Ms. Parker which I enjoyed. I will be reading more by her in the future.

The Men of Eden Cove Manor: M/M Paranormal Halloween Romance

Not sure if it was the cover or the synopsis that convinced me to step out of my comfort zone but I did and I’m so glad. I have had the pleasure of reading at least one of Ms. Valkyrie’s previous books so I knew almost what to expect. I got that and more while reading this quick but fascinating and unique (at least to me) story.

Lucifer finds a way to get himself in trouble when he should have been enjoying the Halloween party thrown by the group of mysterious men who live in the Manor.

Mordechai came across as the unofficial leader of the guys living in the Manor. He definitely has a take charge personally which I think helped with Lucifer.

I would love to see more of the Men of the Manor because I liked them so much but would also be satisfied if this is our only encounter.

The Podcast Chronicles

I felt a kinship with Sue from the beginning. She and I are the same age and trying to figure out the next steps in life now that the kids no longer need us like they used to. The prospect of having to figure the next path to take is not only hard but also scary.

Sue evolved and developed her own identity and learned so much about herself as well as others. She is no longer Gabe’s wife and the boys mom but she is now Sue and I loved every minute of it.

I enjoyed the book and hope to see Sue again.

The Man In Black

I was a little worried about reading this book due to the length, but the story draws you in from the beginning and refused to let me go. It made a weekend not being able to do anything go by so much faster.

Fenimore goes on quite a journey, both physically and emotionally. He isn’t happy with his dull life and the life of an outlaw fascinates him. He hits the road with his horse in search of a new life and identity.

It wasn’t exciting but not a dull trip either before meeting up with the gang he was looking for and eventually becomes a part of.

So much happens while out on his adventures. He felt every emotion possible and ever event he went through changed him.
This is definitely a book you need to be prepared to invest the time into, but it’s totally worth every minute.

I seem to stick to the same genre once I have found one I like whether it be books or music, I know what I like and have a hard time trying something out of my norm. This book is definitely out of my norm and I throughly enjoyed it.

It was a little hard for me to keep up sometimes since I was not caught up on the series but it ended up making sense to me in the end.

The murder of Charlie Collins was a fascinating mystery for me. Something bugged the back of my brain until all of the information was revealed. Though I was unable to put it all together I was quite close.

I definitely need to go back and read the earlier books and then this one again to see if it’s different with the full history.

Definitely recommend reading the book and series.

I so adore Alice for so many different reasons. She is a free spirit and made sure to live her life the way she wants. Some people don’t agree with her decision to do that, but their opinions don’t matter. I wish I could have done what Alice did, well without all of the degrees.

James is a great guy trying to figure out how to rebuild his life after a divorce. He has no creativity and hasn’t been able to paint, until he sees her.

This is such a wonderful story, two people who have been on very different journey but both of their roads lead to each other and fulfilling their dreams.

Any book that starts with a dog in any way, shape or form already has points from me. Throw in a good looking man who helps save said dog and you can add several more points

Caleb and Wynter both have had their heartaches and sworn off relationships. She has seen him several times, but never formally introduced until Reggie.

I really liked Wynter from the beginning and it only grew from there. She has a heart of gold and goes above and beyond what most people would do to help the animals of North Fork.

Caleb isn’t at all what I was expecting with the job, car & family money. I’m so glad I was.

I have enjoyed the two of the series I have read and will make sure to keep up with future releases.
